ABOUT LW & SLEIGHTLY ASKEW

Larry Wilson doesn’t take magic seriously.  But that’s no surprise to the corporate audiences who love his unique mix of comedy and magic .  Audiences laugh so hard they don't realize how astounding his magic is at first.  (They’re also likely to find themselves in the show because Larry incorporates lots of audience participation.)  His client list includes Ford, IBM, Sony, Kodak, NCR, Sunkist, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Anheuser Busch, Colgate and Honeywell.

Larry and his assistants, The Flying Cavettis (two-thirds of the world’s worst acrobatic team), have been called “the Marx Bros. of magic” because they get the same kind of belly-laughs with their clean, family-friendly material.  The greatest compliment they receive is from people who hate magic but love Larry Wilson.  That’s what executives from PAXtv said when they gave Larry his own television special, “Madcap Magic” last year.

Sleightly Askew is the Production Company Larry founded to take care of the “business of entertainment”.  Sleightly Askew Productions handles every aspect of Larry’s work, whether it’s producing his live stage for casinos like Caesar’s,Harrah’s and Harvey’s, or television shows like “Madcap Magic” or arranging the myriad of details for a custom corporate extravaganza.  We can handle as much-- or as little-- of your entertainment needs as you choose.  If you have a production facility you trust, we’re happy to work with them.  If not, we will gladly take responsibility for producing every phase of entertainment for your event that you request. 

When one of Los Angeles’ largest law firms wanted Larry to vanish their Senior Partner, outdoors at a poolside party, we brought in the people to build a stage, construct a backdrop from pipe and drape, erect lights and sound, and then operate the equipment to produce an event that none of the guests will ever forget.  (Larry made the Senior Partner reappear behind the audience.)  Our primary directive at Sleightly Askew is to ensure that your entertainment is absolutely the highest quality presentation possible.

 What’s amazing is how effortlessly Sleightly Askew Productions makes corporate events into spectacular one-of-a-kind happenings.  We know you don’t have the time or inclination to become a talent agent/producer/director/writer/impresario— leave that to Sleightly Askew Productions.  Our wealth of experience makes your event planning absolutely painless .  We know the secret to corporate entertainment is to make it look easy.  And that makes you look good.
